INKSTAND.

in ink stands and particularly to that class of' ink stands adapted forfountain pen iillers.

The invention Consists in substantially the construction set forth inithe subjoined specification, illustrated the accompanying drawing *and mo're particularly pointed out in the claim; J 1

Like letters refer ,to similar parts in the several figures of the drawing, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the ink stand with the cover lifted. Fig. 2 is a verti cal section of su'ch ink stand on the line 1-1, Fig. 3, and 3 is a horizontal cross section on the line 2 -2 ofFig, 2.

The reference sign A" designates the body of the ink stand, which may be of any suitable material and the reference sign B designates the top or cover forthe same, which should extend upward a suiiicient distance to inclose whatever is contained within the body thereof, such, for instance, as the fountain pen filler, whichlatter is designated by the reference letter C. l/Vithin the body of the ink stand is arran ed a removable ink well D, and this inkwell is preferably formed of such asize and shape as to fill only a portionof the interior of such body portion of the inkstand and maybe guided therein merely by the correspondence of its exterior shape to the interior shape of the body por tion, or inaddition be guided by interior lugs a, which maybe formed integrally with the body portion or detachably therefrom at the convenience of the constructor. The remainingspace in the interior of the body portion isadapted to, contain a wiper of any suitable material, and chamois is found convenient for that purpose, and a piece of chamoisiisindicated in the drawing by the letter I); I

Specification of Letters Patent.

I Application filed July 5, 1907. Serial No. 382,184.

Patented May 25, 1909.

The ink well is adapted to receive the I fountain pen filler, which latter is to be inserted therein for a portion of its length, and it has been found desirable in some instances to recess or rabbet the upper portion of such ink well so as to form a shoulder and provide the fountain pen filler with a flange (1 adapted to rest upon the shoulder, whereby the fountain pen. filler is firmly supported in the ink Well and yet capable of ready removal therefrom for use.

The ink stand may be made of any ornamental design and material, and contains within it not only the removable ink well, which latter may be removed to be filled and for cleaning, etc, but also has ample space in convenient approximation thereto for the piece of chamois or wiping material with which it is designed to wipe the fountain pen after it has been. used. 1 The ink well provides ample space for the ink and yet acts as a holder or support for the fountain pen filler while permitting it to be removed therefrom at will. There is thus arranged in one device the whole apparatus necessary for the proper and cleanly use of the fountain pen and the fountain pen filler in a most compact and convenient form.

What I claim and desire to secure by Let XNILLIAM RODIGER.
